This poor girl was growing outside, getting generally neglected and she turned into this crazy, squat bush. She has been brought in and is trying to be given some love.

She’s doing okay inside. Slow grower all in all. Starting to train.

She’s growing...I’ve decided to let my worry go about her leaves for now. Keep feeding her, keep her happy.

She keeps having this little bit of purple on her leaves. I know that can indicate a potassium deficiency, but the runoff tests say that and the pH is okay. Hoping that it’s just part of her genetics. She looks happy.

This girl is a slow grower, but I suspect the earlier addition of the dense earthworm castings is adding to it, inhibiting the early root growth. I love the broad leaves. Not sure if that is going to remain a thing, but they are stupid cute while it’s squat. Might have to put the little girl in a closet at night with a light when the larger garden is going into flower. Kinda overdid it on plants.

Getting little secondary leaves. She’s going to pull through.

Utterly amazing to see the difference in vigor off the bat. Did think we lost her one day when we forgot to water and found her head on the soil! 🙈 Because of that, some of it is on us. Lol.

There she be! Grow little baby, grow. Soil is coco and earthworm castings with mycorrhiza granules, watered yesterday after premoistened soil. Will give her a little plastic bag at night to increase humidity and temperature.
